[QUOTE="Issac, post: 8654367, member: 22068"] I don't really see the big deal. To me this feels quite obvious and about time. I had a classmate in high school who dropped out with only 1 and a half year to go. Why? Because he was playing World of Warcraft, in school, at home... and wanted to play it full time, so he dropped out of school to play WoW. Games are addictive, they trigger our reward system and we have fun. That can go overboard for some. Just like eating candy, doing meth, alcohol, or shopping, only to name a few addictions that are very much real. All of them trigger parts of our brains. Sure, reading books is a joy for some, but it is a slower reward and the number of people who lock themselves up to read books and forget to eat... well they aren't quite as many as the video game addicts. And you also have to remember, there's a big difference of being an addict, and enjoying something. Everyone saying "I'm a gamer, am I an addict now?!?"... no. [/QUOTE]
